Iron man motorised faceplate electronics tutorial!!!

Tiefschwarz · Mar 14, 2013

Allright but wont the battery get empty soon when there is always power on it for Holding the faceplate up?

Tiefschwarz · Mar 14, 2013

And i Wonder of the servo shouldn't move Less then 180degrees. I read in a Post before that the Code on the First Page lets the servos move 180 degrees or am i wrong?

xl97 · Mar 14, 2013

I suppose it depends on the servo you are using.

I would probably going a for a higher torque, metal gear one... where the arms 'lock' in place after the signal/write to the servo and the metal gears help it stay and support the load.

Ok thanks for the fast answers!

you 'tell' the servos how far/angle/degree to move in the code..

(well I suppose it depends on how you do it)..

but last I recall the servo library lets you write number to it to move to that position...and it stays there.

the servo will draw more current under a load too..

do prewired leds are good for that project or need to get the leds and resistors seperated??? cause i already have prewired one

michaudtime · Mar 16, 2013

Hey guys it's been a little while because I've been busy banging my head against the wall trying to get this working. But I finally have it up and running, I'm just waiting for my pinhole camera to come in the mail because right now I have it hooked up to the only RCA cable thing I could find (an old PS2).

I was literately giggling like a school girl when I got it working

why is no one here showing what they have done and how they have done it, that is that this thread is ment for

depends on what you have.. but my first reaction will be 'no'.. get separate ones..

1.) no clue what the leds are rated for
2.) the resistors in place are most likely NOT the correct value for the battery pack you'll end up using..

@IronLeoMan -

send me a bucket to work on...and I'll post my progress..

michaudtime · Mar 16, 2013

Lol I still don't have my helm or hinge yet but when I get them I'll post lots of pics. I agree on the pre-wired led thing. If you got them off eBay they are more then likely wired for 9v.... From my experience at least.

TheChosenOne · Mar 16, 2013

am using 5mm prewired led light 12v and i think the resistors draw about 20ma each im planning to use 3 led for each eyes

TheChosenOne · Mar 16, 2013

i just don't want to buy the seperated one if i can use the prewired

michaudtime · Mar 16, 2013

It boils down to how your powering your LEDs, if your going to be powering it using 12V then your fine but your going to have to wire them in parallel. But if your using a voltage less then 12v the LEDs may light up but they will be super dim.

This may help. Quickar Electronics HOW TO HOOK UP LEDS - choosing the correct wiring scheme, the proper current limiting resistors and verifying performance

Ok guys I've been working all day with all my snippets of code that I have written trying to get them to play nice and this is what I came up with. Some of it may be gibberish but I'm hoping that some of it will help those that have been working on this. I haven't had a chance to test it all together as I'm still waiting for my helm and my hinge and my camera but and nor do I think I've even a good programmer. but this is what I came up with. Feel free to take parts of the code as you need, there is no point in reinventing the wheel

Here are the boards that I built this for
Arduino 5v mini pro: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11113
WTV020SD breakout Board: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11125
MAX7456 breakout Board: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9168
Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout board: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10955

here is the code.... I commented the crap out of it so I hope you can follow it :thumbsup

Hi guys still loving this post I'll be posting my board and set up later today but got everything running from picaxe board with 2 2.2kg load metal gear servos and 2 ultra white LEDs just need to mount in helmet now

Holy mother of code. As soon as I get the proper libraries in place I'm going to compile and check it out myself.

I'm curious as to what screen you are using for your HUD?

I'm glad you guys like it!

For my screen I'm using a set of vuzix 310's that I bought a while ago. But that code "should" run on any NTSC screen.

And Andy yes i think I did "steal" the idea from a YouTube video of yours. Your welcome to the stark industries logo I made, it took my like 4 hours of pixel painting each character lol. I did want to get with you about your setup. I was wondering why you didn't use a pinhole cam to conceal it more. Your project and this thread mad me get off my ass and try my hand at it.

There is actually a app that converts pictures for the MAX7456, i need to look it up again.
I think a pinhole cam is not good enough in low light. But if i want, i can still change it. The cam is the easiest part of my helmet.
